| Summary: | The paper studies Amos 5. The focus is on the hopeful perspective opened by the admonition to \"seek the Lord\" (v. 4, 6). What this means is explained by v. 14: to seek the Lord means to seek good and not evil which leads to life. Eventually, hating evil and loving good is equated with establishing \"justice in the gate\" (v. 15). The last oracle in the collection of ch. 5 explains that this is not fulfilled in the cult but by strengthening \"justice and righteousness\". Although the thin hope of the chapter vanishes towards the end the ideas of Amos 5 are taken up and further developped in other prophetic writings. |
